French technology group 7616 Lacroix has recently made two strategic acquisitions, enabling it to expand its international presence, to develop in the smart cities sector and to capitalise on new growth areas.

The acquisition of Spanish company DSTA enabled Lacroix to expand its offering in variable message signs, traffic signals and public transport information panels, making it more competitive while providing its customers with proven end-to-end technological solutions.
